BellingenNSWLifeless rock pools at SawtellAfter cyclone Alfred whipped up a 'bacteria smoothy' along Australia's east coast the sea foam then merged with a 'flush' from the suburbs. Dislodged smelly sponges at Sawtell beach made breathing and contact impossible. Even without fossil fueled disasters the intertidal zone at the north end of the beach is barren. The rock pools and crevices no longer house sea anemones, crabs, black nerites, limpets, sea stars, mulberry oyster borers, algae, sea anemones, sponges, tube worms, sea stars, oysters, and fish.Still good enough for hosting 'sports' and advertising events amplified by megaphone so they can be heard at Lord Howe Island too.<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/disasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#disasters</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/runoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#runoff</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/eutrophication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eutrophication</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Seafoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Seafoam</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Nocardiae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nocardiae</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sewage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SewageTreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SewageTreatment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSW</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Sawtell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sawtell</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/beach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beach</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EventSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EventSpace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/erosion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#erosion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IntertidalZone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IntertidalZone</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MarineLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarineLife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/loss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#loss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a>

These 8.2 tons of CO2 are the equivalent of 13 return flights from Berlin to Barcelona and almost as much as the CO2 emitted in the production of a mid-class luxury car, such as a Mercedes C250"“The 8.2 tons of CO2 produced over 13 years equate to an annual CO2 emission of 630 kilograms. If we place these 630 kilograms of CO2 in the context of the two tons per year indicated as environmentally acceptable for humans by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, then every dog owner can see that almost one third of their CO2 budget is already used up by their dog.”“The ton of fecal matter and 2,000 liters of urine produced by a dog over a lifetime of 13 years further impact the environment.” <a href="https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/2020/august/life-cycle-assessment-for-dogs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/2020/august/life-cycle-assessment-for-dogs</a>“Environmental Impacts of a Pet Dog: An LCA Case Study” <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/8/3394" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/8/3394</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Water</a> bodies <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Acidification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Acidification</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Soil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Ecotoxicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ecotoxicity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Meat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Urine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Urine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Excrements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Excrements</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Freshwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Freshwater</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Eutrophication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eutrophication</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PromisedLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PromisedLand</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bellingen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BellingenDogs</a>

Paul PeaceWithout the pet food industry providing a depository for meat waste, the price would rise and the pollution would be concentrated and obvious, instead of spread over large areas in dog & cat poo. Keeping pets on meat food is, I think, incompatible with veganism, and certain harms planetary health. <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vegan</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Veganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Veganism</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Pets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pets</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dogs</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cats</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Poo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Poo</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Eutrophication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eutrophication</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/BiodiversityLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BiodiversityLoss</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a>

Paul PeaceInstead of animal poo on farms, some farmers use only plants - green manures. These do not leach nutrients in the rain like muck-spreading and fertilisers. Nutrients are locked in complex organics. Crucially, crop plant roots have been shown to unlock those nutrients as needed.I'll dig out the research on request - pun totally intended 😜<a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#farming</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/VeganicFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VeganicFarming</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Manure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Manure</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/PlantBasedFuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PlantBasedFuture</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/Eutrophication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eutrophication</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/BiodiversityLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BiodiversityLoss</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/BiodiversityCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BiodiversityCrisis</a> <a href="https://earthstream.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a>
